Did the quick mods on my two Ebay aquired used CC Crane V1 FM Xmtrs: Turned VR2 all the way up, and gently snapped out the X1 crystal to go mono. They went from barely covering the inside of my apartment to covering about 80 feet outside! I seem to recall that the FCC regs talk about an understanding that part 15 is generally intended for a range of about 300 feet, and lacking a more sophisticated approach, I will be using that as my guide to stay out of trouble with them, so, I go for a walk with my Grundig G8 Traveller II, and enjoy the very signifigant improvement. I think I will easily obtain the 300 foot limit through antenna mods and will not need any more transmit circuit mods. Around here, a 300 foot bubble is a lot of households to broadcast to! Best regards to the community!
